We have received recent reports of fraudulent emails purporting to be sent from UnitedHealth Group, UnitedHealthcare, or Optum recruiting personnel.

The fraudulent emails, which do not originate from any of UnitedHealth Group’s email domains, or those of any of its operating divisions, supposedly ask recipients to contact the sender to start the company’s hiring process by downloading software and/or requesting a fee.
